Later this week, the FMCSA as well as Dot will be meeting to continue a rule making session seeking medium and also heavy duty trucks and tractors emission rules being placed into law. The particular subject of fuel proficiency has undoubtedly been contentious. Several hearings have taken place in attempts to drive legislation regulating freight truck fuel performance for tractor manufacturers; to take effect for tractor versions built between 2014-2018. On-lookers and those near to the situation feel final regulation could possibly be in place prior to the end of 2011.
The fuel consumption and emissions amounts being considered are based on President Obama's dedicated initiatives to reform the trucking industry's standards. Though much discussion has taken place, the agencies writing legislation assure truck drivers they are employing prevailing technologies in legislation and believe medium level trucks as well as heavy duty tractors can certainly improve their gas mileage by ten to twenty percent. Regulators from the Us Epa and also the Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are the companies assigned in order to supervise this reform.
The very first public hearing occurred on November 15 following the notice of 600 plus page draft of recommended regulation that was published on October 25th. The next hearing is scheduled for November 18th in Cambridge, Massachusetts in which the board may administer oral arguments on the 600 page legislation as well as the investigation of National Highway Transportation Safety Administration's ecological impact study which can be the foundation of the discovery for the proposed legislation.
Once notice of the offered legislation is technically published to the Federal Register, the environmental Protection Agency and National Highway Transportation Safety Administration must open a 60 day period in which the public may make commentary, as part of the public procedure. At present, the new legislation is actually aimed towards implementation of existing technologies including focusing on speed limiters, anti-idling technologies, aerodynamics, and use of lighter components. The particular legislation being discussed will be aimed at affect heavy duty pickups, vans, vocational vehicles, and also combination tractors... in model years starting as early as 2014.
Naturally, numerous in the marketplace are worried the implementation of further constraint can devastate an already fragile transportation marketplace. The domestic United states Transportation sector has been under severe strain caused by brand new legislation. Industry management believe that these additional technologies will significantly improve not only the costs of operation but the costs of getting new equipment in the future. A lot of small carriers as well as Owner Operators will no longer be able to afford new trucks and thus will be forced to maintain older equipment along with fleets on the highways much longer under the new legislation; while law makers dispute the increased costs of these technologies far outweigh the benefits as well as operational cost savings through the life of the vehicle.
The federal Administration authorities explain how the advantages of technology could deliver cost savings of approximately $74,000 per 18 wheeler; far out-pacing the increase in costs. The regulating authorities believe environmental programs might enhance the carrier's earnings along with improvement in environmental impact. Quite a few manufacturers such as Ford, Navistar and others joined up with the truck Manufacturers Association and Engine Manufacturers Associations are in favor of implementation of the new standards. These groups providing feedback strongly urged the Epa and FHTSA to be sensible regarding execution of latest standards.
Kyle Treadway, chairman of the American Truck Dealers Division of the National Automobile Dealers Association strongly urged these agencies to be realistic while considering the execution of suggested criteria. Mr. Treadway targeted his remarks on reasonable implantation, recommending the new legislation be realistic, affordable, and technologically feasible. He went on to say that if any of the three criteria Isn't met, Mr. Treadway feels that owner operators will not purchase new vehicles which could considerably damage truck lots. Low-rolling-resistance tires were also under attack, since it has been recommended that the Epa and NHTSA explore these technologies thoroughly to ensure that the increased productivity are not endangering the traction each tire can achieve.

Delivering thousands of packages or parcels every day is difficult for 3PL players with human intelligence alone. Watch how Locus’ IntelliSort i.e., automated shipment sorting solutions helped Blue Dart- DHL, reducing human errors and increasing operational efficiencies dramatically.
The company was struggling to sort daily shipments with old-school manual processes. Manual sorting of shipments was time consuming and error-prone, leading to overall inefficiencies in logistics. Their dependency on human intelligence was adding to logistics costs.
Blue Dart partnered with Locus to deploy Intellisort, an AI-based shipment / parcel sortation system designed to handle sorting thousands of orders and parcels easily. Locus helped the customer automate this process with other features such as automated route planning and route printing.
With Locus in their supply chain, the client can now scan shipments and sort them based on automated routes allocated. This has saved up to 65% of sorting time and increased their increase in deliveries per day by 27%.
Locus provides a range of AI-based logistics solutions including Route Planning, Intelligent Automated Shipment Sorting, Rider and Vehicle Allocation, Logistics Monitoring and Fleet Tracking Solutions, Predictive Analytics and more for varied industries such as e-commerce, 3PL, Home Services, Retail, CPG and FMCG.

At TransCorr National Logistics we care about the air we breathe, so we have teamed up with the EPA’s SmartWay program to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the freight sector. SmartWay is a public and private collaboration between the USEPA and the freight transportation industry that helps freight shippers, carriers, and logistics companies improve fuel-efficiency and save money.
By 2012, SmartWay aims to reduce carbon emissions by 9 to 18 million metric tons.
The SmartWay Transport Partnership will achieve these reductions through advancing technologies and improving the management practices used in the freight industry. Technologies being used include new approaches to reducing or eliminating truck idling, like truck stop electrification and auxiliary power units. Other technological approaches to reduced emissions include improved aerodynamics, self-inflating and wide-base tires, synthetic lubricants, speed controls and others. Improved management practices include load matching and driver training. Companies which adopt these strategies are doing so because of their environmental stewardship, and because it is good for business.
Doing business the “SmartWay” is setting the benchmark for excellence, and rewarding companies for using sustainable technologies and practices that will become the industry standard.
